The Tampa Tribune is the second-largest newspaper on this year's list, behind The Times-Picayune of New Orleans in daily circulation and the Star-Telegram of Fort Worth, Texas in Sunday circulation. The other papers honored are the Hartford Courant, the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the Belleville (Ill.) News-Democrat, The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post, the Janesville (Wis.) Gazette, and the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald-Tribune.

This is the fourth year that Editor & Publisher has picked ten newspapers that "have made great strides and can serve as a model" of innovation for other papers, according to the magazine.

While this is the first time a Media General newspaper has appeared on Editor & Publisher's list, it is not the first appearance by a Media General organization on a major industry publication's top ten list. In 2001, Media Week magazine named the Tribune's television partner WFLA-TV one of "10 Stations That Do It Right."
